Give me colour over neutrals any day of the wotsit. What a fabulous outfit, love that just above the knee silk dress and I rather enjoyed the adventure of the Panty Ho. Gifts and portraits, you've had a great day. That rainbow taffeta skirt looks like it has lots of potential. Ooh I've just noticed the belt. Niiice Miss Sheffield! xxxx

And there was I hoping your I spy was going to be a veritable banquet of biscuit beige and borderline browns. Bummer! You go and spoil it with all this glorious colour.If I was arty, you'd inspire me to sketch you too - look at all the blogger love coming your way at once. The future's so bright, you GOTTA wear shades (and sparkly fishnets, jewel-coloured clothes, and loads of bastard jewellery). Leave the ecru for those ladies who think being brave is wearing 'nautical stripes'.

BEST DRESS EVER!!!!!!! I almost wet myself when I saw this amazing burst of COLOR! JOY! I love it on you and with the purple bits, its just delicious! Spy Girl did you justice wow the dress is pretty much spot on. The maxi from Shelley has rocking colors too. Our world is pretty special and we created it, I think that is the best part!LOVEU!XXOOO

O, hello fellow lurex panty HO! I haven't worn my lurex fishnets in ages, as they make me itch a bit. Yours look delish. In fact, you look like a lovely fruity cocktail! People ARE weird aout colour, aren't they?! Shame. ut more for us! That's such a gorgeous shift frock, I love the print and of course, that fabularse colour!!!Naturally you were Spygirled! And most splendidly!Can't wait to see you rocking that heavenly taffeta maxi, it's frigging DIVOON!I love my Blogfriends, I love Blogland!Love YOU! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That 60s print dress from Second to None deserves to be immortalized (as do you)! Love the paisley print and juicy colors of that dress. Inspired by your knack with fishnets and other lacy tights, I picked up some teal fishnets at the thrift store recently.

Taffeta just isn't around these days or if it is I haven't seen it. Back in the day Mum had a taffeta maxi skirt, I loved the rustling sound of it. Your silk dress is a beauty, 'gawjuss' colours and I love the red shoes too. Hope you made the most of that sun.x

Ooh, YES! So, the first thing I thought of when you said "..something beginning with S." was Sexy Stunner. It's true! :D This one is delish; I often wonder why some people are so afraid of color. What a beautiful way for people to express themselves..mayhaps they're scared of expression? Sad. Color is such a gift. Mom and I will often look at our flowers in the garden, and comment on how nature has the most beautiful, vivid colors..and what a treat it is for Mother Earth to share them with us. :) Hippies. lol

What a beautiful dress and colours and the lurex fishnets are great! I love Spy Girl's art she perfectly sketched your Second to none dress, I'm impressed with how amazing the print looks! Can't wait to see you wearing the maxi taffeta skirt, it's awesome and when I think about this fabric I always giggle thinking about the taffeta scene in Young Frankenstein..Lots of love xxxxxxxx

Great dress! I love pink and orange together and the purple cardi really makes the colours on the dress pop. I retreat into a protective shell of black when it's cold but I love wearing colour in the sunshine. It is funny how some people just really shy away from colour and wearing it - like they don't want to be noticed or seen.

What ho, Panty Ho!Gorgeous dreaa and I love the colours together. Lahverly!!What to women say that? I get it all the time...what's the worst that will happen if they where bright colours? They might like it? I'm sick of seeing people in grey and greige.I knew Spygirl would do a sketch of you in that dress! It's too fab to miss.Frankly, I'd be a misreable wretch without my blogging buds...xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I spy someone fabulous!!! The colours together blow my mind, I say you can never wear too much colour. It's about to be monochrome season here and I'm going to be like you and go against the grain! xxxx

Curtise, I am loving you in these shorter frocks - more please! And the fishnets are so great. I used to live in either nude or coloured ones when working - a nice alternative to a "plain leg", with the added bonus of looking and feeling great - and never running (not to mention a few looks on the subway, teehee). Happy spring! Xoxo

Oh goodness me, that dress is glorious! I love it with the panty-ho's and the pop of purple.Aren't people strange about colour? They always compliment a bright outfit and then finish it with, "but I couldn't wear it". More fool them!Love Anne's glorious sketch adn that rather snazzy taffeta maxi from Shelley.You're right, blogging buddies are the BEST!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

I like what Bella said about Blogger neutral being Leopard Print. I hate that "ooh I couldn't wear that" thing.... yes you could! You're just lacking in imagination! The tights are gorgeous! The dress is utterly divine. I love the colours, they seem to glow. With the blue they look amazing. It all looks stunning. Blogger love is the best!

Gawwwwwwwwwd that's a bleeding awesome sketch - hardly a sketch ... a flippin' work of art! Anne is spot-on with the shades of the frock and blue tights! I have complete and utter adoration for you in this amazing frock and cardi with faaaaaaaaark-me sparkly fishnets!!!!!! I'll bet you're like me when you get a OSFA pair of tights "no way are they getting past my hips", then viola, it happens ... sometimes. On other unfortunate occasions they make their merry way south - Helga calls those "growler-eating tights". The bane of long-limbed lassies. Aaaaaaah the backhanded insult ... always a favourite of mine. I get them now and then, but then I must have had more than I realised as I seem to have developed the art of the quip - must be thanks to Edmund Blackadder witticisms which I seem to have been stored in my rotting brain;). "I couldn't wear that colour" Ooooooooh do get me started: "You're right, you couldn't", "You could, but only on cloudy days", "Well you're best not to then", "What a shame, but then I find beige so depressing". I really should stop now. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoox

fabulous dress, love the colors and love that fishnets and pretty shoes combo!, you look gorgeous and I could wear all that bright color indeed!, and enjoy it!! (that's a comment I'm used to hear too!!)And that sketch looks really You, so lovely!!besos

Fantastic sketch of you. Anne is so talented.I love the sixties shift - the style suits you and the colour combination is fab. I love bright colours - why do people think they could never wear them? You look lovely in yours.

GAH! Those colours look freakingfantastic on you!! Some nice leg action going on there too with the flirty fishnets. Now that it's getting a little warmer, I'm craving bright colours in my wardrobe. If you wear a colour you love, it lights up your face in a way that black definitely does not...Can't wait to see how you style the skirt! Congrats on your membership in the digital catwalk - Anne's sketches are soooo cool.

Lookatchoo, lookatchoo, LOOKATCHOO!(No, not sneezing, but going on about how completely great you look, both the real you and in your Digital Catwalk portrait!) Such a pretty sundress, with cardi now, none later. And fishnets with pretty shoes. What a good idea!Great. Really Great.

There's something about pink and orange together that just glows isn't there, and I can see the sparkle in your lurex tights, and I love those lovely red shoes! Everything in this outfit is so gorgeous Curtise, and you have sunshine too! And you're a work of art yet again, you must be getting used to that by now. I have felt inspired to paint and draw you bloggy ladies too, just wish art group was every night of the week! Must admit, I've tended to lurk about in black with a bit of red here and there over the years but you lot make me feel braver every day. xx

People can be so weird about wearing bright colours. I don't get it at all. You look fabulous. I love the dress with that purple cardi. I think 'Curtise in Thrift' should be the title of a tv that follows you on your charity shop adventures.

Oh a bet they were all wearing grey or black???? That is one very gorgeous dress on you and look at your fabulous legs in those wonderful fish-nets.....I am always taken by the size out of the packet too....Magic things I think???? Have a truly wonderful weekend Miss Curtise.love V

Well... neutrals have their place too but I agree that colour has the power to do all sorts of excellent things to the mind! You look great as always Curtise and even make the lurex fishnets look classy! So more I'm a Lady than Panty Ho really! Vicky x

Aaaah! These colours are great: pink, red, orange and violet, that's the right combo for me too. Love it!!! And your necklace is so pretty - I've said this before.Thank you for your lovely birthday wishes. I'm going to stay in Norwich and I'm so excited. I'm a little bit nervous because of the flight. Actually it's my first flight. I think I must be really old-fashioned.

Oh, no, I could never wear colour like that. I am much more happy and comfortable in beige, and grey and taupe every single day. You are a joyful vision. I love all my blogger pantyho's. Lurex fishnets? Loving them. Curtise, you are a vision of gorgeousness.
